ImportError: No module named webkit

To fix tried:

sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev

which added

gir1.2-javascriptcoregtk-3.0 gir1.2-soup-2.4 gir1.2-webkit-3.0 libgtk-3-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-3.0-dev libsoup2.4-dev libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev libxml2-dev

But error persists:

ImportError: No module named webkit

Earlier in the process, to fix:

ImportError: No module named vte
ImportError: No module named gst
ImportError: No module named pygame

sudo apt-get install python-vte python-gst0.10 python-pygame

As a known issue (for Debian), suggested dependencies, i.e., -S sweets command argument, don't work for now.

sweets -S sdk/sugar:emulator

<inkyfingers> Image from: http://www.raspbian.org/
<inkyfingers> is Debian Hard Float (armhf) for RPi
<inkyfingers> Is armhf likely to be a problem for <sweets>?
<alsroot> inkyfingers: I didn't try to run sugar on arm. OLPC people support it but I dunno do they use sugar directly from upstream brunches (what was used for sweets (not SD)) or not
<inkyfingers> #644010 is now marked fixed - so wheezy seems fine to me with python 2.7 - I believe eliminated.
<alsroot> btw, whats exact sugar version you are running on Raspberry?
<inkyfingers> Ok tried sdk/sugar and dextrose/
<inkyfingers> dextrose marginally more success.
<inkyfingers> * Booting Rpi ... will try to ssh for notes . I tested Sugar 0.88 and 0.94
...
<inkyfingers>  raspbian@pisces:~$ sweets  dextrose/sugar:emulator
<inkyfingers> Xephyr on :30.0
<inkyfingers> About my computer:
<inkyfingers> Build: Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
<inkyfingers> Sugar: 0.88.1
...
<inkyfingers> I will try to write only about sweets  dextrose/sugar:emulator ...
<inkyfingers> F1 to F6 all fine ok
<alsroot> thats fine..
<alsroot> though, in my mind SD, finally, is more useful way to start sugar itself. but unfortunately, it does not [yet]support arm
<inkyfingers> I could see no avatars in F1 in dextrose <seen fine in sdk, 0.94>
<inkyfingers> I have no Activities in F3
<alsroot> for activities, you can unzip some of them (that are pure python) to ~/Activities
<inkyfingers> That would be a good next step.
<inkyfingers> Two usb ports are used by mouse and kbd. I will prepare a USB stick next and try that out.
<alsroot> inkyfingers: btw, how long it took to build sugar via "sweets" command?
<inkyfingers> Over 8 or 9 mins of 100% CPU
<inkyfingers> sorry ssh into my rubbish notes is hard !! I keep not finding what I want!

<inkyfingers> this made me think Activities should be on-board?
<alsroot> inkyfingers: nope, this way you can't install activities
<alsroot> dunno will Browse work on or not (to open ASLO), but just download .xo files to unzip them to ~/Activities
<inkyfingers> So that trace was just my first successful launch
